Download or read book The Decameron on a Goan Beach Twelve Feel Good Stories written by Dharanidhar Sahu and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-11-13 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four participants of an international conference on "The Art of Story-Telling"- three young persons and one not so young - prefer to remain in each other's company, decide to overstay and spend three days together in a beachside hotel in Goa before leaving for their respective home towns. While in Goa, they tell stories of their own invention, each of them telling a story every day, thereby recreating a backdrop immortalized by the 14th century writer Giovanni Boccaccio in The Decameron. Each of our group of four tells three stories in the course of three days.Some of the stories are realistic; some are magical; some are serious and comic at the same time; some modern fables have animals as characters and some of them even make sense in a curious sort of way. One thing, however, is common about these twelve stories: they celebrate life's diversities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horrors of the Sea captures maritime myths and widely-believed legends perfectly aged over centuries, though some are contemporary. Set against the backdrop of tranquil coastal India, the book consists of 15 eerie and unconventional tales that explore the dark world of sea witches, unknown entities lurking in the dark, the doll-faced mermaid, and monsters encountered when driving in the twilight. Some stories explore human curiosity about the mystical elements and their fatal or fateful interactions. Others revolve around how human emotions often fall prey to evil entities and their frightening outcomes. Belonging to a comparatively unexplored genre and marinated with the author's own experiences, creativity, and imagination, the stories have a distinctive touch. These tales aim at infotainment, a great way to satiate the appetite for horror while preserving our folklore.

Download or read book The Indian Ocean written by Michael N. Pearson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stimulating and authoritative overview, Michael Pearson reverses the traditional angle of maritime history and looks from the sea to its shores - its impact on the land through trade, naval power, travel and scientific exploration. This vast ocean, both connecting and separating nations, has shaped many countries' cultures and ideologies through the movement of goods, people, ideas and religions across the sea. The Indian Ocean moves from a discussion of physical elements, its shape, winds, currents and boundaries, to a history from pre-Islamic times to the modern period of European dominance. Going far beyond pure maritime history, this compelling survey is an invaluable addition to political, cultural and economic world history.
